Match Events
33' OFFSIDE! Matuidi's goal disallowed
NO GOAL! Juventus' celebrations are cut short as Matuidi has the ball in the back of the net on the end of a lovely throughball from Costa, but the offside flag is raised! It's clearly the correct decision from the linesman, as Matuidi was a good yards behind the defence when that ball was played through.
61'GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Milan (Ronaldo)
JUVENTUS BREAK THE DEADLOCK! 1-0! This comes with a hint of controvery as Ronaldo may have drifted into an offside position when Pjanic's cross came in, but the flag says down and Ronaldo heads home to give Juventus the lead!
67' OFFSIDE! Dybala's goal disallowed
MASSIVE LET-OFF! The fireworks go off behind the Milan goal as Dybala slots home from eight yards on the end of Matuidi's assist, but the offside flag is raised as the midfielder strayed behind the defence as the ball was played through to him in the build-up!
73'Red Card! Kessie sent off
KESSIE IS OFF! Following a VAR check, the referee determines the challenge warrants a red card! Milan are down to 10 men and they have a big hill to climb now!
Match reports
Juventus will return to Turin with the Supercoppa Italiana in tow after Cristiano Ronaldo's header sank AC Milan.
The Portugal forward headed through the limp hands of Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma just after the hour, which was enough to settle a low-key affair.
Juve could have won by a more comfortable scoreline with Douglas Costa and Joao Cancelo having decent chances, while the Bianconeri twice correctly had goals ruled out for offside before Franck Kessie was deservedly sent off for Gennaro Gattuso's side.

please my dear Barca fans why can't you just appreciate the work of a genius .. some are saying the pass must be praised not the goal .. do you think morata or lukaku can score that ... it's only a few who can.. Some are saying it was an offside .. haven't you seen the VAR review why can't you just accept this .. some are saying Juve could have won without Ronaldo ... I ask a question what was the final scores ... do u know that the last time Juve won it was in 2015 ... no disrespect to Messi but Ronaldo is exceptional .... Zlatan I thought you had won a UCL with all the big teams you played ....

An entertaining first half as both sides were equally good with both sides making attempts to break the deadlock and both the sides' defenses up to the mark.Second half started in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in a stadium which can hold over sixty thousand people.Interestingly Higuain was warming up during the first half so the chances increased that Milan fans might see him play in this prestigious tournament.Cutrone came close to score, left behind Juventus' defense and Szczesny wouldn't have stopped it but unfortunately the shot deflected of the post.Ronaldo got an opportunity in the fifty eight minute but Donnaruma saved the shot.Milan's attack slowed down and Juventus took that opportunity to press their attack and they turned it all to their advantage as the sensational Ronaldo got a goal and it was onside,Donnarumma must have tried harder.Dybala's goal got disallowed as Matuidi was offside.Higuain with Borini arrived on the pitch,it's good strategy from Gattuso.Milan were in more trouble when Kessie got an undeserved red card and were down to 10 men.Milan seemed to have lost their earlier spark by the eightyith minute.Standot players for Milan were Romagnoli, Rodriguez and Cutrone while on the other side Cancelo, Chiellini and Ronaldo performed for their side.So Juventus win the 31st Supercoppa Italiana Cup after the end of additional five minutes.
